Event 25: $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout (Completed)

Fifty Players Moving On.

Matt Matros Hunting for Bracelet #4 After a rather short day of poker, fifty players were able to conquer their tables and move on to Day 2 of Event 25: $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout. Each player to move on to play tomorrow is guaranteed to win at least $3,088. If the players can best their table tomorrow, they will make the final table of ten and be guaranteed even more money. Today's play saw a slew of notable players enter only to hit the rail a few levels later. Among those to try their best but come up short today were Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer Harman, Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Hellmuth, Brandon Cantu, Marcel Luske, and Joseph Cheong. While those players busted from their tables while there were still a few players left, several notable players made it to heads up only to end their tournament life one spot from the money. Barry Greenstein, Bryan Devonshire, McLean Karr, Maria Ho and Viktor Blom are some of the players who were able to make it to heads up but were unable to seal the deal.

Re: Event 25: $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout (Day 2 completed) Congratulations to Brian Meinders, Winner of Event 25: $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout ($116,118)!

Bracelet Winner Brian Meinders Defeat three tables and win a World Series of Poker bracelet. It sounds like an easy task in theory, but 365 people would disagree with you. That being said, one person was able to accomplish what the others could not and accumulate all of the chips on the table three days in a row. Brian Meinders was able to defeat Darin Thomas heads up to take home $116,118 in prize money and his first gold WSOP bracelet.
